The picture says it all: every day, Solihull is becoming a better place to be a child or young person. Services for children and families are our top priority for improvement, and we place children and young people at the heart of all we do. Ofsted says our programme of transformation, Ambitious for Children, is delivering ‘tangible improvements’, and we’re steadily building a strong Solihull for our children, families and workforce.
There’s lots to be proud of, but still lots to do, and our new Director will take Children’s Services to the next level of our development. You’ll have extensive experience of achieving great outcomes and will bring the full set of relevant skills and knowledge. Values-led, inspiring and an outstanding communicator, you’ll exemplify the destination we’re aiming for.
